Hi and welcome to DK

first off give the young un a clip round the lug.

I have had no experience with this box but if it happened when he changed something in HDD mode have you tried whatever other options are available in that mode.

when you turn emu on have you also set default key

[chris25]

hi yeh done that mate still not comeing on had the box 3 years now never done this befor ?

[smoggy]

start from scratch and reflash the firmware and see if you have any luck

[chris25]

hi were can i get the firmware from ?

[smoggy]

firmware here Digital Kaos - Downloads - Starview TheBoxPVR Software & Instructions (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/starview/23/starview-theboxpvr-software-instructions-1153/)

[chris25]

hi this the firmware dec 08 v3.105

[smoggy]

yes thats the firmware, it needs to be loaded to your box using the loader

[chris25]

still not comeing on put the firmware on it dont no what to do now ?

[smoggy]

have you checked in system information to make sure firmware has loaded ok

[chris25]

yeh its all on ok but not comeing on im in stockton

[chris25]

its all on ok in the system information

[smoggy]

if you have the latest firmware and turned emu on and set default key then put on SKY SP1 and it won't update then there is not much else left to try.

did you scan on NTL provider
have you tried inputting the codes manually

[dell_xps]

set default key !!!

[chris25]

yeh set the set default key still not on have you got the codes so can put in manually thanks

[smoggy]

you can get them off the bigmaq toolbar or from keymaster

keymaster here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f10/keymaster-v1-2-a-15751/

the ones you want are pure ntl

[chris25]

no good mate still wont come on thanks any way thanks

[smoggy]

this is grasping at straws but I have read about people getting channels on a different provider in particular chorus, you have nothing to lose so try scanning on different ones and see if you have any luck (factory reset first)

[chris25]

will do thanks mate

[dell_xps]

Try flashing it with the rs232 cable instead of using the usb cable, if that doesn't work try flashing again via usb cable.

:afraid: i have just received a NEW Virmin card today i live in Teesside as well so it looks like you might have been changed over to NAGRA 3 the info with my new card said that all my channels will be unavailable if i do not activate my card within 2 weeks so it looks like i will have to get the sports package and a extra box for our lass i suppose all good things come to the end
